All,

Here's a(nother) sendmail patch (against 8.13.4) for review.

[ I realise this isn't directly MIMEDefang related, but I figure the audience here is likely to find this useful. If not, please let me know I'll refrain from posting these here ]

From the commit message:

Log additional information when a connecting client triggers a greet pause check.

At the moment the log line looks something like this:

... from example.com [A.B.C.D] due to pre-greeting traffic

The patch inserts " after n seconds" immediately after the IP address, so that it now looks like:

... from example.com [A.B.C.D] after 8 seconds due to pre-greeting traffic

This is helpful when determining what is and is not a good greetpause figure for your system. It can also be useful when arguing the effectiveness of a particular figure -- for example, "60% of our inbound traffic waits for between 20 and 30 seconds before triggering the check, therefore reducing our greetpause value below 30 seconds is a bad idea".
